Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers01:48

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers

48.4K
Skeletal muscles continuously produce ATP to provide the energy that enables muscle contractions. Skeletal muscle fibers can be categorized into three types based on differences in their contraction speed and how they produce ATP, as well as physical differences related to these factors. Most human muscles contain all three muscle fiber types, albeit in varying proportions.

Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy

5.6K
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.
Gray Matter and its Components
Central to the gray matter is...

The Spinal Cord01:54

The Spinal Cord

27.4K
The spinal cord is the body’s major nerve tract of the central nervous system, communicating afferent sensory information from the periphery to the brain and efferent motor information from the brain to the body. The human spinal cord extends from the hole at the base of the skull, or foramen magnum, to the level of the first or second lumbar vertebra.

Structural Classification of Joints01:20

Structural Classification of Joints

8.0K
Joints, also known as articulations, are classified based on their structural characteristics, i.e., based on whether the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones are directly connected by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the articulating surfaces contact each other within a fluid-filled joint cavity. These differences serve to divide the joints of the body into three structural classifications.
A fibrous joint is where the adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective...

Classification of Connective Tissues01:30

Classification of Connective Tissues

17.8K
The connective tissues have different properties and functions in the human body. They are broadly categorized into proper, supporting, or fluid connective tissues.
Connective Tissue Proper
Connective tissue proper is the most abundant class of connective tissues. As its name implies, it predominantly connects different tissues in the body. Depending on the cell types, ground substance, viscosity, and fiber types in the ECM, connective tissue proper is further categorized into loose and dense....

Spinal Cord Injury ll: Pathophysiology

18
Spinal cord injury progresses through two interconnected phases: primary injury and secondary injury.Primary InjuryPrimary injury happens at the moment of trauma and involves immediate mechanical damage to the spinal cord.Compression happens when broken vertebrae, herniated discs, or accumulating blood (such as a hematoma) press directly against the spinal cord, distorting its normal shape and function. In cases of contusion, the cord is bruised by a blunt force (like penetrating injuries or...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Developmental Biology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Split cord malformations (SCMs) are uncommon congenital anomalies of the spine, accounting for 3.8-5% of all spinal cord malformations.
  • The estimated prevalence of SCMs is 0.02% (1 in 5499 live births), with a slight female predominance.
  • Type I SCM is observed more frequently than Type II SCM.

Observation:

  • This paper details the clinical presentation and imaging findings of a rare multi-level SCM in a 27-year-old male patient.
  • The case report includes a comprehensive review of the embryological origins and pathological hypotheses associated with SCMs.

Findings:

  • A systematic literature review identified existing cases of multi-level SCM.
  • The study proposes a novel classification system for SCMs to enhance diagnostic clarity and therapeutic strategies.

Implications:

  • The proposed classification system aims to improve the understanding and management of SCMs.
  • This research contributes to the field of pediatric neurology and spinal cord anomaly research.
  • Further research into SCM classification may lead to improved patient outcomes.
